I won't be around for the game, so I had to give you a little something.

I won't pretend to have completely remembered the "categorical imperative" part of Kant's philosophies, but when I saw the name spelled that way, I had to make a joke. I would never have forgiven myself if I didn't find a way.

Erin, Kant may be slumping, but he gets high Marx for his veteran leadership in the cleanup slot. He's got kind of an Nietzsche trigger finger at the plate, but I don't want to Hegel over whether batting him fourth makes sense. In Torre's mind, he's clearly a Locke for that slot.

Brewers winning 7-1 in AZ, but of course the Dodgers won't take advantage. Young gets rung up on a called strikeout. Dodgers go meekly. Are the Dodgers going to roll over and play dead after losing the five-run lead?

We gotta admit the Giants have a very good young pitching rotation, they only need some batting and they all set, specially in the NL West.If the Dodgers are on binary mode, there's no way they could beat Matt Cain or Tim Lincecum.

I'm watching the Strike Zone Channel, so Carlos Hernandez said he talked with Manny Mota about Maza: it seems the organization is very satisfied with his work and as long he does the little things, he could stay with the team long. It also seems he's a real team player and he's happy to contribute in anyway.
